2017 is the best possible year to unleash your inner geek. Yes, that is a thing, and yes, you have a little bit of geek in you! (And no, I am not crazy.) Once frowned upon, the self-labelled geeks are becoming increasingly popular. One needs to bear in mind that a geek is not a horn-rimmed spectacle-wearing, suspender-and-corduroy pants sporting, bucktoothed little kid, as often shown in movies. A geek is, by definition of the modern use of the word, someone deeply interested in a matter and the intellectual pursuit thereof.
